Tina,
You're a light in this world. Your laugh was contagious and you loved fiercely, with every part of your being. You adored your family without measure and beamed with absolute pride for them. You were gracious and kind and accepted me always, quirks and all. You were a far better friend than I deserved. I can't even think about going to the office and not seeing you in the next cube.
I'm going to miss our talks, laughing til we cried, helping hook bracelets or shoes when you allllllmost made it, NAIL REVEALS, making me grab a tissue when I used those scratchy paper towels, donuts, crazy phone calls, calling out my Amber-isms, cocktail recipes, your "good morning" messages, and starting the day with us singing along to "The Prayer".
You know I said my dad brought me to the MIA because he knew I needed THAT job, but I think he also knew I needed YOU. I'm not ready to say goodbye yet…so for now I'll say "see you later." I know you are safely in the arms of the Lord, whose will you always trusted.
The last thing you said to me was, "safe travels & have a life changing great time!!!"...so I'm sharing a photo from Greece that I didn't get the chance to share with you.
Until we meet again, my friend. Rest peacefully in pink.
Love always,
Autumn
